The Portable MBA in Finance and Accounting

The Portable MBA in Finance and Accounting

Tired of reading finance books that are light on detail? Then look no further. I noticed while thinking about this review that the dust jacket reads: "...even if you have no prior background in finance and accounting you'll quickly learn how to...understand and use financial derivatives...serve as a director of a corporation...take your company public." That's a pretty tall order. But then, it is 658 pages and published by Wiley (technical publisher). I think a more accurate statement would be: "If you have prior background in finance or accounting and want to brush up on ..." Unless your very smart, or can spend a lot of time reading and re-reading the material, I just don't think this book will make your ready to use financial derivatives, serve as a director of a corporation, or take your company public. I give it 4 stars, in part because of the awesome charts and graphs.

You can write a book review and share your experiences. Other readers will always be interested in your opinion of the books you've read. Whether you've loved the book or not, if you give your honest and detailed thoughts then people will find new books that are right for them.
